What Makes The Sky Blue & My Skin Purple

Why is the sky blue? A question we've asked since we were kids that is, like many things, simply answered by science. But what is making my skin turn purple when I can breathe perfectly fine isn't a question many ask, nor is answerable by any. You could say my mental health is not well and that's true or you could say I have a bizarrely different world view from others, which, would also be true. Though one thing for certain is my love for writing, it's truly my passion and the best representation of myself. I write what I know, believe and feel, but I also write things to help connect to those who are having a hard time. I may have not experienced those feelings or situations but that's not important to me. I write about them so someone can feel seen, their feelings feel validated and maybe finally have their feelings turned into words. I do the same for everything else I write, to share my feelings and to let someone else know they're not alone in their feelings. There's a good mix of topics ranging from light hearted poems about how the color yellow makes me happy to horror themed ones to cute love story poems and ones about how ever since I developed depression it feels like all the color in my life has been drained away. My writing is mainly focused on mental health, the LGBTQ+ community (as I am nonbinary, pan and ace myself), social justice issues and bullying/abuse. Don't worry though, the first part is a list of the poems that need trigger warnings and the trigger warnings for them so please check that before reading any poem of mine as your wellbeing is top priority. This book is supposed to be a pleasant experience for you not an unpleasant one. And I truly hope you love reading these poems as much as I love writing them.
